Sometimes it’s timing. Sometimes it’s a power play. Sometimes it’s an imbalance in maturity. Chemistry but confused and mistimed souls.
Don’t let anyone subdue your worth and make you feel you have to hide your light in fear of outshining a troubled ego. Some people can’t handle partnership with an equally complex mind, or even be challenged by such. They require subservience; lesser. They need to feel in charge and make you feel small to inflate themselves in protection from unaddressed, sometimes unbeknown, insecurities and issues of the past. This isn’t love. This is control. You can’t love until you know how to or you’ll just continue to bleed on others from unhealed wounds. Most tragically, you will make the other person who cares for you question love entirely.
Don’t be controlled. Be loved for who you are in all your wildness, your beautiful imperfections, the genius in your madness and most importantly in the dark times when your heart is tested by circumstances outside your control. Find a mind who sees your worth and understands your unspoken language. Find a partner who is patient, who forgives when you are outside yourself and troubled. Your partner is not your opponent just as they are not solely responsible for your happiness. Love should be simple; a comfortable world where each other’s inner self are free to roam without inhibition, judgement or fear. Love should feel like home – safety, support, warmth. No competition; just trust, loyalty and openness in even your most vulnerable times. You shouldn’t feel scared or small; you should feel transcendently beautiful and alive.
If not; shoot them down.
